Description

Nightingale armour from the game The Elder Scrolls- Skyrim. I made this costume out of craft foam, coated in Plastidip rubberised spray and backed with leatherette. Then painted using Angelus Shoe paints.

The Bow is made with a LARP bow core then EVA foam cut and carved to shape. Coated in Plastidip and painted with Angelus paints, plus irridescent blue nail polish for the 'enchanted' effect.

Why does this not have any comments - this is freakin amazing!
It's perfect to the last detail, you did a wonderful job!

Plastidip spray is the best discovery i've ever made. As it's a rubber it is totally flexible and can be painted over.Plus it's waterproof.
Over foam, especially the spray gives a flat texture like smooth leather. Needs about 4 fine coats and 1 can does that. The dip i used on the bow ( as id run out of spray) and you need to use fast brushstrokes to stop them showing, but it creates a slightly glossier surface. It's pricey and smelly but damn is it good.
